North and South Korea websites shut amid hacking alert

Several government and media websites in South and North Korea were shut for several hours on the 63rd anniversary of Korean war, and Seoul said its sites were hacked and alerted people to take security measures against cyber-attacks.

It was not immediately clear whether the shutdown of North Korean websites, including those belonging to Air Koryo and the Rodong Sinmun newspaper, was triggered by hacking. Rodong Sinmun, Uriminzokkiri and Naenara websites were operational a few hours later.
